Karolinska University Hospital Solna project wins European Healthcare Design Awards
White Arkitekter shortlisted for three awards at World Architecture Festival Awards 2017 in the future categories for Masterplanning, Culture, Health.
As an integral part of a wider healthcare plan in Stockholm, Karolinska University Hospital Solna is well-adapted to the planned urban surroundings and environment, making a positive contribution to the local area. There is great potential for future flexibility which provides longer term economic and operational benefits. The project addresses sustainability through design, materials and transportation, achieving a very high standard overall.
The jury
The devise “patient first” has guided the project; planning and design is based on the patients’ safety, integrity and comfort. The hospital is being built to operate for up to a hundred years and has as such been planned as general, flexible and of high quality. It is one of Europe’s largest and most advanced building projects, Sweden’s most complex BIM project, the first hospital to be environmentally certified according to Swedish and international standards. It is also the heart of a whole new district which is developing around the urban hospital between Stockholm and Solna.
White Tengbom Team was formed in 2010 to meet the architectural challenges for Karolinska University Hospital Solna. It is a project-specific company, where two of Sweden’s largest architectural practices, White and Tengbom, worked together to design the hospital.
